Home is not just a shelter

Home is not just a shelter. Home is where I create memories. Home is somewhere I feel safe even if I don't know how to ask for help. Someone is already there to talk to. Coming home to the smell of a freshly cooked meal or the buttery popcorn while watching awesome movies. Even though I make mistakes, my family always understands. My family supports me for my ideas. Even though I don't have everything, we make the most of what we have. I have a beautiful room filled with stuff and clothes. I have a roof to protect me from the rain or bad weather. And days that I wish I could disappear but my family reminded who I am when I can't remember. Even when I can't figure out where I belong, I remember that my home is where I make memories. Home is where I come home to get rest after a hard day. Home is somewhere where I can play different sports with my family. Home is not just a shelter. I don't even know how to explain how much I appreciate my home. I would not be who I am today.Home is not just a shelter.
